Thanks to Full Moon Bites Author Promotions for hosting this blog tour. I'm sharing my review of Michael Loring's Dehumanized today. Happy reading!
***************************** Summary:A deadly and currently incurable disease has been released as the result of an unknown experiment that went awry. Dubbed 'Lycanthropy' by the media due to its similarity to the horror movie genre depiction about werewolves, anyone infected begins to change, and every night of the full moon the 'beast' within is released. Within one year, lycanthropy spread throughout Europe, Asia and has now infected the USA. In an attempt to control and treat the outbreak, concerned governments have begun creating camps to contain those who are infected and to help find a cure. Despite rumors comparing these camps to the concentration camps of almost 70 years ago, the US government maintains these camps have the best interests of the public and the residents at heart. Expectations for a cure …

HAPPY BELATED RELEASE DAY! I've read several of April Angel's (aka Milly Taiden's) works and I've enjoyed them all, so I'm please to share a little about her latest release today. Happy reading!

She crashed his party and became his prize…

According to one annoying Drex Callum, Chris is a “nosy reporter.” And maybe she is. She’s heard of the super secretive event known as the Seduction Party, and she won’t be content until she finds a way in. The last thing she expects to find is that Drex is the host. She’ll never get an invitation from her nemesis—unless she finds a way to get one herself. And breaking into his house is nothing if it means getting the scoop. But what she gets instead is an eye-full of the man himself, half-naked and more than she’d ever dreamed he could be in all her teenage fantasies.

Drex has been fantasizing about Chris forever, and now that she’s a grown woman, he still has a hard time treating her like one. So when she shows up at the Seductio…

Thanks to Bewitching Book Tours for hosting this blog tour. I have Susannah Sandlin here talking about doing research for Omega. Welcome!
***************************** How Stuff Works—Research in the Vampire World
Research is a part of any writing process, but you’d think that in an imaginary small Southern town that’s eventually to become the axis of a vampire civil war, research would be minimal.

But not so fast. The great thing about urban fantasy and paranormal romance—and my Penton Legacy series straddles the line between the two—is that it lies at the crossroads of reality and fantasy. So the sexy vampires and the women who tame them have to deal with some real issues.

Here are some things I learned along the way in writing the Penton Legacy series, the most recent of which is Omega:

--Army Underwear. Randa, the heroine of Omega is a former US soldier turned vampire while on active duty. She doesn’t like being a vampire and hasn’t done much to update her wardrobe since being tu…

Thanks to Full Moon Bites Promotions for hosting this blurb blitz. Check out the other blogs along the blitz tour. Now let's take a look at the two books in the Divinities series by Lia Davis!
***************************** Forgotten Visions - Book 1Kalissa Bradenton isn’t your average coffee shop owner. Born to an elite witch bloodline with a rare genetic mutation, she’s a Divinity on a mission. The death of her parents sends her away from her Maxville, Florida, home and into an ancient war between witches and demons. When childhood friend Ayden Daniels comes to her aid after an almost fatal accident, visions of a past she doesn’t remember sparks an old flame and new desires. With the past slowly becoming clearer, she eagerly sets her sights on mending Ayden’s heart and gaining his trust–until a ghost from her past returns to claim her as his demonic mate.

Ayden, the new Sheriff of Maxville and grandson of the oldest living Divinity, is investigating a series of Divinity killing…

I have RM Garcia with me here today to share a bit about himself and his book, The Foundlings. Please help me give him a warm welcome!
***************************** 3 Questions with RM Garcia 1) Tell us about yourself and your background.
Well I was born and raised in New Jersey. My Family and I lived in and around the cities of Newark and Elizabeth. I have two siblings, and five step-siblings, so you can say I came from a large extended family. My childhood was split between the dreary streets of NJ and the Caribbean island paradise of Puerto Rico. At an early age I began writing stories and jotting down ideas. I’m an avid gamer and tabletop role-player, and these hobbies helped me learn how to chain together plots and characters. My best job ever was a nearby library branch. It didn’t pay much, but it didn’t matter to me, and I worked there all through high school. This is where my love of books grew. I discovered great authors like Piers Anthony, Orson Scott Card, and Anne Rice. It…

Summary:Donnie aimlessly drifted through the past year of his life, and often wondered if it was worth the effort to just keep trying. The events of the past year had left him near broken. That all changed the moment Abbie walked into his life. She was like an angel sent to lift up his soul from the darkness it now existed in. For a moment his future seemed brighter with her in his life, and he started to believe he could be happy. They never expected how much their lives would change once they are dragged into another world. A world of shadows which within exists a society hidden in plain sight; a world wroth with danger, where they aren’t welcomed at all. They are forced into this world of Vampires, where they find themselves little more than orphans, nothing more than Foundlings from the start. Donnie and Abbie now find their love and faith tested to their very limits, while someone or something else watches, waits and hopes. Title: The Foundlings

Thanks to Bewitching Book Tours for hosting this blog tour. I have Christine James here today sharing her playlist for The Chosen Series. Let's give her a warm welcome!
***************************** Playlist
When I write I am taken to a completely different world. Like movies with amazing music scores, I have certain scenes I picture with certain songs. I listen to a wide range of music though; classical; rock; blues; alternative; punk. The lists of songs below are only a few of what I listened to as I wrote this series. These are the songs that I pictured in some of the intense scenes, and when I played them, I found it often helped.

Bewitching Book Tours is hosting a cover reveal for Milly Taiden's Caged Heat, the sequel to Sharp Change in the Black Meadow Pack series. I'm here to share that cover and a couple character profiles with you. Happy Reading!

Caged Heat - Black Meadows Pack Book 2

Hey y'all. I'm very honored that Tara Lain named me a very inspiring blogger! Thank you so much!

I am to name 7 things about myself and then nominate 15 other bloggers.

Here's my 7 facts (warning they might be a little sappy):

1) I frequently fall in love with romance book heroes. I'm an absolute junkie. My biggest crush though has got to be Wrath from Black Dagger Brotherhood, with Z and V coming in at a close second. *swoon* I also adore quite a few contemporary ones too though, especially if I imagine them looking like Chris Hemsworth :D

2) I think I might be better at writing short stories than novels. Though I think being overly critical of myself too early (a first draft is supposed to suck) might be a factor in that...I'm a big chicken at this point, and have terrible self-discipline right now when it comes to making myself sit down and write. I also suffer from too many ideas, and not enough actual writing done ><

Technical analyst Rachel Grant arrives in Sunderland intent on tidying up her grandmother’s cottage, but the disaster she discovers requires more than a gentle sweep of a dust rag. Determined to please the most important person in her life, she trades her computer keyboard for a hammer and nails to make the repairs. She doesn’t count on the chilly reception from the locals who want to claim Nan’s home as their own.

Tour guide Aidan Camden wants to buy the cottage. He’s determined to acquire the property no matter how attractive he finds the current occupant. However, when tragedy strikes, throwing them both into a tailspin, he discovers he wants more than the house. He longs for the sexy American as well. Can Aidan put his own ghosts to rest in time to save the woman who’s claimed his heart?

Sexual Content: ModerateThoughts:Who doesn’t love a reunion plot line? Brax and Toni were both very compelling and their story is sad, but oh so heartwarming. There are a few predictable twists, but also some surprises providing that much more enjoyment from the storyline. I adored Jackson’s cameo (from book 2) in this one and how Asher and Mia who started it all are involved in each story as we…
